The current tanks are made of polycarbonate a very strong and slightly flexible plastic, the one problem with polycarbonate is cinnamon oil and some acids attack it and over time(sometimes hours) will make it crack. Pyrex is a heat resistant glass it is chemically inert not effected by acid or oil, the only problems I see with it is it breaks and costs more.

For everyone who wanted to see here is a picture of the new base design. Sorry it is not a better picture.
The production bases will have the same nice finish you are used to seeing, this picture is of the prototype that passed my testing.
Jonah, is it a 2 price base. One to place the ce2 in and then insert into bottom? Or is it just one whole piece?
It is just one piece there is a step cut into it that the end of the cut ce2 sits against and an O-ring in a groove to make a positive seal.
If anyone who purchased the first tanks still needs a V2 bottom please let me know. The V2 Torpedo Tanks will be available soon. The Stainless and or Pyrex options will follow shortly after.
I'm surprised these things aren't made from Pyrex by someone by now. Sure, it's glass, but Pyrex is pretty durable stuff so I would think that it wouldn't be a problem.
I will have the test model for the Pyrex in the next couple of days. If it is as nice as I think it will be I will have Pyrex tanks available within the next week or two.
Watching this closely as I am Highly interested in a Pyrex Tank.

JonahNM,
I am assuming you are testing the fragility of the pyrex to ensure that as you wiggle the end caps out of the pyrex tube the stresses do not cause the tube to break in someones hands. Or is that even a concern?
How is the web site coming along and the negotiations to become an ECF vendor with your own subforum?

The tube breaking from stress is very unlikely I am mostly worried about how it will hold up to being knocked around while people use them this is what I plan on testing. The site is coming along quite well, it will be a while before I can even try to get a sub-forum. I have to get the site up then have a year as a registered supplier then apply and be approved. But I am working towards it.
I <3 my torpedo tanks & jonahnm!!!

Just read this thread from start to finish...gotta say Jonah, looks like you've put alot of time and effort into these. Definitely looks like a high quality product. Once I'm ready for a tank, I'll be back. 
Jonah,
Just got the new bottom. Haven't used it yet, but it's great. Ce2 can be changed on the fly without tools. Great fit too. What size is the oring on the inside, and diameter?
To anybody on the fence about ordering do it. Jonah is a stand up guy to business with. Never lost his cool with all my questions. Fast and efficient shipping. Super product. And most of all, A MAN OF HIS WORD. He did what he said he would do. And in a fair way. He let the customers who had frustrations with the first bottom get the updated part first. He could of easily back burnered us and just made money. He made it about the customer and not about his personal interests. Thank you Jonah. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Mike.

Mike,
I am glad you like the new design. The O-ring on the inside is a -11 it is a standard size, or if you need just a couple let me know. When you need to replace the CE2 the length to cut the tube is .39 inch or 9.91mm for the rest of the world. If you have any questions just let me know,
Jonah
A quick update. There will be Torpedo Tanks available in the next couple of day, both V1 and V2. There will be Stainless steel Torpedo Tanks and if all gos well in testing the optional Pyrex tubes will all so be ready within the next week. The stainless steel tanks will only be available in V2 and the cost is still being figured out, I will let you know soon.
yup, mine leak vertical and horizontal
Your tank from Nhaler? I ask because I don't think you bought one from me. If you did please PM me with details of the leak and I will find a way to fix it for you.
I' stoked to hear about the stainless. I need one. Do you still have me on the list to PM when they're available?
